Communists Rising Pressure in Thailand and Malaysia
U S intelligence analysts warn Thailand and Malaysia face major Communist insurgencies within 18 months. Infiltration is already rising in northeast Thailand after Indochina’s Communist victory, while Malaysia matures for future insurgency despite no border with Communist states. Thai leaders seek live-and-let-live ties with Vietnam and seek Chinese backing. Malaysia expects one to two years of grace before serious trouble. U S officials criticize Thai armed forces for not stemming insurgency despite 600 million dollars in equipment and lagging economic progress in the northeast.

Mrs Gandhi loses bid as Supreme Court delays election law case
In New Delhi the Supreme Court refused to hear Indira Gandhi's appeal of her June 12 election law conviction until it rules on a new constitutional amendment. The bench set August 25 for hearings on the amendment's validity, amid India’s political crisis. Bhushan argues the change voids the verdict and narrows court power. The case stems from Gandhi's 1971 election win and charges of abusing government officials in her campaign.
